If you were born in the 80’sm definitely you’ll love HauntedLCD by The Conrad Bros. But there’s enough charm in this game that new generation of gamers will love just as the retro gamers do.

The basic mechanic of this game is you trying to make the ghosts at bay, because they wanna haunt your house and make a ‘living’ out of it, Fortunately you’re aren’t afraid we all know that ghosts are the ones afraid of the light. So watchu gonna do? Bring on your flashlights to keep ’em off bay.

The controls of this game is so simple (just like how LCD games were supposed to be). Tapping the left side of the screen makes your dude go up, and tapping the right side makes him go down. When the flashlight is right infront of the ghost’s face? Poof! They’re gone. But your flashlight’s battery wont last long during the night, good thing you have the Super Charger 3000 located at the top. All you have to do is keep on pressing the left side of the screen to go all the way up until you can actually charge your batteries. The Super Charger 3000 is super lightning fast that it will only take less than a fraction of a second for your batteries to be fully charged. Because ghosts don’t come in schedule You’ll never know when the ghost is around so you have to be equipped with a the best weapon and the fastest charger to survive the night.

Just like the original Game and Watch games, two game modes are in the game. Game A is easy, while Game B is more challenging than the previous. The difference is the speed of the gameplay, the number of monsters onscreen and the how you can charge your battery. In Game A, you can charge the battery even though it has two bars left. But in Game B, you can only charge it when it is only 1 bar left on the indicator.

Once thing missing is I like to have an online leader-boards for this game. Other LCD type of games on the App Store has this feature, so why not implement it?

This game is so simple yet so fun. If you’re a Game and Watch gamer, you’ll know what to expect and what not to expect. New generations of gamers might expect too much for these types of games. But LCD games are meant to be played with simplicity. The important thing is their still fun nonetheless. HauntedLCD stayed very true to the original Game and watch games by its simplicity in gameplay, yet so much fun as a time-waster. Definitely recommended. Buy this game!
